Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1887-10-10

The ARGUS last spring described the
contest of the election of County Judge
J. H. Connell, of Mercer county. Judge
C0nnell's attorneys are Sweeney i
Walker, of this city. and John Wharton,
ESQ of AIedo, and the hearing of the
Case will occur before Judge Peasants at
AledO tomorrow. The ground of the
contest of the election is that Judge Con-
nell was not himself a qualified voter in
Illinois at the time of his election; that
he was not then citizen of Illinois, in
ssmuch as he had previously taken up his
residence in Colorado, and hat he had
not been a resident of Illinois long
enough after his return to be u citizen
The election in which Judge Council was
successful year ago this fall Was a three
cOrnered fight, in which the principa
opponent was Judge James NJ Wilson
the incumbent, aud who now challenge
| Judge Councils legal right to the offic,
| on the grounds stated. Judge Connell
on the other hand, states that he went Il
Colorado temporarily for the benefit o
his wife's health, and that be continued
to vote in AledO, which he always con
sidered his home.

on the wedding:
The prominence of the principals in
this marriage. and its possible bearing
upon the future of one of the best medi>
ums induces the journal TO make more
! than passing notice. Mr. Drake is
known in the west and south as promi
nent contractor and hydraulic engineer.
| He Was the principal mover in the nnder-
taking which resulted in the erection of
the Texas capitol building, whereby that
state secured four million dollar struct
ure for three million acres of land in the
panhandle of Texas. Mr. Drake WAS
also the builder of the fine system OF
waterworks at Austin. Fort Worth and
| Gainesville. Texas, and in several of the
larger cities of Kansas, out of which he
made fortune. Prior to these enter.
| prises he was for fifteen or more years in
the editorial work in Iowa and Illinois,
where his aggressive pen made his intlu-
ence felt in the councils of the democratic
party of the west up to the time of the
Tilden campaign, when he turned his at
tention TO more money making pursuits.
Ii therefore seems as though he must be
emlnently qualified to be the protector of
one who has been a faithful instrument
in the hands of the Spirit-world. Should
the result be thai her gifts shall be exer-
cised in the direction of more scientific
and scholarly exposition of spirtualls,n,
to the end that it may in time be placed
by the side of the accepted sciences, the
cause of spiritualism will be greatly ad,
vanced thereby. MIR. Drake apparently
has the ability, education, experience.
courage and inclination so necessary Ia
assist in this important work. We know
him to be a thorough splrituslist and
shall hope for these results
The marriage ceremony is said to have
been beautiful and impressive as the two
were pronounced man and wife in The
presence of the members of the two fam
lies and few personal friends from
New York and Boston. Mrs. Ladd's
elegant parlors were handsomely decora

MAKING AN EXPERIMENT.

Let us make an experiment. Here is a
boy ten years old who has never used
tobacco.
Charley, will you help us to make an
experiment."
"I will, sir"
"Here is a piece of plug tobacco as
large as pea. Put it in your mouth;
chew it. Don't let one drop go down
your throat, but spit every drop of juice
into that spittoon. Keep on chewing,
splitting, chewing, splitting"
Before he is done with that little piece
of tobacco, simply squeezing the juice
out of it, without swallowing drop, he
will lie here on the platform in a cold,
death-like perspiration. Put your finger
upon his wrist. There is no pulse. He
will seem for two or three hours to be
dying.
Again, steep a plug of tobacco in a
quart of water, and battle the neck and
back of calf troubled with vermin. You
will kill the vermin, and il not very care
full you will kill the calf too. These ex-
periments show that tobacco in its ordi-
nary state, is an extremely powerful poi
son.

SOUNDS FROM THE SCHOOL
ROOM

A teacher in city near New York had
a small class in easy physiology. They
had had several lessons on the ear, and
had been so thoroughly drilled as on the
names and uses of all its parts, that when
some visitors dropped in the teacher was
glad it happened to be the hour for this
class to recite. After asking several ques-
tons and receiving prompt and correct
answers, she said: "What is the name of
the canal in the carp"
The child hesitated moment, and then
spoke up, loud and clear: "The Erie
Canalp
The visitors thought, if she judged by
the sound, it was no wonder the child
thought the Erie Canal ought to be in
the ear, and were, perhaps, Better pleased
than the teacher was with the answer.
Another teacher, in the same city, ask
ed one OF her scholars themeaning OF the
word ''vicissitude.'
"Change," was the reply.
"That is right" said the teacher; "now
give me sentence with the word vicissi-
tude In it."
"My mother ssnt me to the store to vi
cissitude dollar bill"
A boy in one of the schools can never
tell by the sound how word should be
spelled. He will study hard, and often
get the right letters in word, but seldom
in the right order. He spelled gently,
one day in this way, g-l-n-e-t-y. Long
words are always too much for him, and
in lesson Of twenty given one day (of
which he had but four spelled correstly),
he wrote this for one OF them: "W-a-ll-
o-w-a-k-n-s-s." The word that was given
out was volcanoesl

to his feet, both bears were out Of sight;
and that was the last the Brookvillers

she stood by the door, waiting for the
coach, II knew you would comel My

THE SMALL BOY.

One day sat in car seat, on the Sau-
gus branch OF the Eastern road, behind a
pale, careworn lady, who was taking a
little boy from Boston to Maiden. AS the
boy was of very inquiring mind, and
everything seemed to attract his atten-
ton, I could not help listening to some
of his questions.
"What is that, auntie?" he commenced
pointing to stack Of hay on the marsh.
"Oh, that is hay, DEAR" answered the
careworn lady.
"What is hay, auntie?"
"Why, hay is hay, DEAR
"But what is hay made OFF"
"Why, hay is made of grass"
"Who makes the grass?"
"God makes it, dear"
"Does he make it in the daytime or
night?"
"In both, DEAR"
"Aud Sundays?"
"Yes; all the time"
"Ain't it wicked to make grass on Sun
days, auntie9"
ooh, l don't know. I'd keep still,
Willie; that's dear"
A short silence, when Willie broke out:
"Bennie says oxen is owls. Auntie, is
they?"
"Oh, perhaps So"
"I think whales can lay eggs; don't you,
auntie?"
"Oh, yes; I suppose So" said the
shameless woman"
"Did you ever see whale on his nest?"
"Oh, suppose So"
"Where?"

quiet I am getting crazy"
"What makes you crazy, auntie?"
ooh, dear, you ask SO many questions"
"Did you ever see little fly eat SUGAR."

"Wherew
"Willie, sit down on the seat and be
still, or will shake you. Now, not an

And the lady pointed her finger at the
little boy, as il she we're going to stick it
through him.
There are eight million little boys like
Willie in the United States and half as
many in England. Record.

UNIvERsALIsT BOOKS.
For Christmas and New Years Gifts.

We trust our Universalist readers will
remember that the blouse, publishes a
large number of choice volumes which
are well adapted for Christmas and New
Years gifts. 1t is well to make selec-
tions in good season SO that the crowded
condition OF the mails about the holiday
will not interfere with the prompt trans.
mission Of packages. We suggest the
following as appropriate gifts from Uni
versalists.
l. DR.. Adams FIFTY Notable Years
of American Universalism." 8vo. illus
trated. Price, cloth, $500; Half calf,
$3.50; Morocco, $4.00.
2. Sumner Ellis's Life of Rev. E. Ell.
Chaplin" Cloth, $1.5O; Gilt, $500; Halt
Calf, $3.50; Morocco, $500.
3. "Fsith and Righteousness" by Rev.
Sumner Ellis. THIS beautiful volume of
rich and eloquent discourses was not
ready last year for the holidays. 1t
should receive attention from our friends
who desire to make gift of book that
will profit all readers. Price $1.00.
4. One of the best of our books for
presentation purposes, especially to
lady,is Mrs. Hanson's "Woman Workers"
It's fifteen portraits and hundred and
thirty biographies of some of the noblest
and best of the multitude of noble wo-
men who have adorned our church, make
it as unique as it is valuable. No other
book can better grace the comfortable or
library shelf, or be read with more pleas
ure and profit, or be shown with greater
satisfaction to those unfamiliar with our
faith, and the work it produces on the ma
ture of woman. The volume is beauti-
full one,-a fitting casket to go many
'gems of purest ray serene. Price,
$500.
5. One of the most taking of our gift
books is "Voices of the Faith" The
third edition las been demanded in
very short time Extracts from 400 Uni
versalist authors, giving almost as many
phases of our faith, with the birth. dates
of five or six hundred of our ministers,
give it rare value, and as the extracts
are arranged on the birthday plan, the
book Is altogether the best of the BIRTH
day presents from or to Universslist. At
the same time nothing could be better to
place in the hands of those not of our
faith. We have made it as handsome as
the bookmaker's art can accomplish.

Edna Braman had loitered along the
road with heavy heart. Was her
brother going to be like other boys she
had seen, rude, selfish fellows who
seemed to care nothing for their sisters?
Bruno did his best to comfort her, but
Bruno was not Dick.
1t was long, hot walk to the pasture.
She filed her pail, wondering a little
who had been there before her and
trampled down the bushes so. Ready at
length to return home, she entered the
woods for shorter cut down toward the
meadows. A moment later, the dog be.
gan to bark wildly; and, following his
gaze, she saw, not fifty feet away, bear
slowly starting down a tree, looking at
her as he came.
She tried to quiet Bruno and hurry
away, bat it was too late. A hoarse
painting, and cracking among the
underground near by, told her that the
she-bear was dashing turiously forward
to protect the other, which was plainly a
cub.
In another moment she came in sight,
only to be met by brave Bruno, who
leaped toward her, barking and engaging
all her attention. Just as the cub reach.

THE TENDER SHEPHERD.

In the far-away eastern countries,
Where the mountains, grim and grand,
Tower sky-ward like stern old sentinels-
Guards to better land
The craggy slopes are dotted
With many feeding flock,
And here and there are the sheep-folds,
Built on the solid rock.
AS we stand on the heights at evening,
To gaze on the slopes below,
The sheep look like fair white lilies
Like lilies, white as snow,
Set in bank of emerald
And upborne on the evening air.
There comes low, soft tinkling,
Like the vesper call to prayer.
AS we gaze on these lowly shepherds,
1t gladdens our hearts to see
That the weary and faint and weak ones
Are borne so tenderly:
That the young lambs are laid on their bosoms
And we think, as our eyes grow dim
If the lambs are so dear to these shepherds,
Holp much dedrer are lce to HIM

At sunrise on the morning of this same
August day, there lay at the foot of
huge pine, near the summit of the high
est and widest of the mountains around
East Brookville, what appeared to be a
heap OF black wool. On hollow bough
near by, woodpecker, with notified
back and scarlet crest, drummed bnsily,
as he finished up his marketing for the
morning. In a thicket of dense furs, a
thrush sang clearly and sweetly. A flock
of chickadees, clinging upside down to
the rough bark of the pine, and talking
merrily among themselves as they hutter-
ed from perch to perch, twisted their
heads to look down over their shoulders
at the curious heap of black fur among
the ferns ut the foot of the tree
As the first yellow rays Of sunlight
fell steadily down through the motionless
evergreen branches, they rested on
